GWS coach Adam Kingsley says important midfielder Harry Perryman will miss at least one week with a hamstring injury, joining two concussed stars on the sidelines.

Perryman was substituted early in the first quarter of the Giants’ stirring win over Adelaide, with the 24-year-old forced to look on alongside important duo Josh Kelly and Lachie Whitfield after the pair entered concussion protocols.

Kingsley said he expected the latter pair to be available for the Giants’ round 3 clash against Carlton.

Hmmm... in a real conundrum over Kelly, I missed the 2nd half of that game so haven't seen the incident. Can anyone elaborate on how badly he was concussed? If only missing 1 week I can't justify the trade, it is a concern about the long term lingering effects on him pending how big the impact was. His role that I saw in the first half was exactly what I wanted to see, he did have many kicks marked by the crows inside the Giants 50/ his efficiency was well down on what he normally delivers.

No, not even a doctor can.

It is a toughie. I think because he was my last man in, and I don't have Green (who should be a direct beneficary of Kelly/Perryman abscence in the short term) - I'm happy to cut him straight away.

The bigger issue could be who people are comfortable trading him to. If keen on a Macrae/Cogs/LDU type (or even Daicos via DPP) - then I'd pull the trigger. If not, no harm waiting a week to see who emerges as a good pick and/or see if an M9 loop can perform for a round.

Giant boost: Ruckman cleared of serious back injury that threatened season
The Giants have received a much-needed injury boost after initial fears Braydon Preuss' season could be over
By Josh Gabelich - 1 hr ago

GREATER Western Sydney is breathing a huge sigh of relief after ruckman Braydon Preuss was cleared of a serious back injury that threatened to end his season before it had even started.

The 207cm, 118kg enforcer has been meeting with specialists in the past fortnight to identify the cause of persistent back pain that mysteriously emerged when he woke up one morning earlier this month.

Preuss is scheduled to meet with another specialist on Tuesday, but it is understood the former Melbourne and North Melbourne ruckman has avoided the severe injury the club was fearing ahead of round one.

The Queenslander faced Gold Coast in Greater Western Sydney's only practice match at Blacktown, but in the days after that game he aggravated a pre-existing back injury that led to him having a bolt inserted in his back.

Preuss is expected to miss the next fortnight but could return for the Giants' Easter Sunday game against Essendon at Marvel Stadium.


The Giants have three ruckmen on the list with AFL experience – Matt Flynn, Kieren Briggs and Preuss – plus Nick Madden, a project ruckman they added to the rookie list in November.

Adam Kingsley picked Flynn to face Adelaide on Sunday and was pleased with the 25-year-old's performance against Reilly O'Brien at Giants Stadium, especially given the stifling hot conditions and lack of rotations.

Briggs strained his hamstring in the VFL practice match against Sydney at Giants HQ earlier on Sunday and is set for some time on the sidelines.

Greater Western Sydney produced one of the best performances of the first weekend of the season, recovering from 31 points down in the second quarter to beat Adelaide by 16 points in a game when they were down to one man on the bench in the last quarter.

The Giants will head west to face West Coast on Sunday without All-Australian stars Lachie Whitfield and Josh Kelly after both entered concussion protocols.

Harry Perryman is also set to miss the game at Optus Stadium after being substituted out of the win over Adelaide early with a hamstring injury.

Former first-round pick Leek Aleer is a chance to be available against the Eagles after being a late out in round one due to a minor quad issue and soreness.

That late change led to Jack Buckley returning for his first AFL game in 623 days after recovering from a knee reconstruction.

Can someone summarise how this is so different from Pickett that one is 2 weeks and the other straight to tribunal?

One is a big name player for a Victorian club and one is a no name player for an interstate club.

Pickett's was unequivocally a worse action so if either was going to be different his is the one that should be worse.

Honestly, the MRP is such an absolute joke at this point. Somehow we've gone from the abysmal and stupid "outcome" based system and instead of going towards the action we've gone for some absolute no man's land in between.
